[00:36:18] <exec> 08└─Water in the lake equals water coming into the lake minus water going out of the lake. Water coming into the lake is affected by rainfall. If NOAA predicts less rainfall, chances are there will be less rain, and vice versa. So NOAA has a lot to do with the water in Lake Lanier!
